Now when you get back on your feet, do what Arian Foster did & go to an uncooked plant based lifestyle. It doesn't just reverse cardiovascular disease, but it will arrest or reverse ALL diseases, even cancer. (Go watch "Forks Over Knives" and "Food Matters")

Just local vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, and some grains. No dairy. No meat. No cooking or steaming (except for the beans & grains). It may sound like a drastic change, but I tend to believe open heart surgery is arguably higher on the drastic list.
